AISHA
and i knew
how could she not
how could she not
Once again she was met with a response of sympathy instead of hope. He spoke as if this was the final conclusion. New life. No way around it. She screwed up her nose and huffed, frustration brimming inside her. She felt like she should be doing something! Something to fix this! But she was given nothing to work with but the consolation prize; art with Oliver.
She tried to listen to him, the accept his talk about new beginnings and new happy memories, however the notion that this situation could be anything but dismal hadn't yet crossed her mind. At least she had Oliver, just a thought to spin some optimism into the mix. Despite thinking it, she was not amused. "Aisha Khai. Aisha or Khai, I don't care which," she said, then paused to let that sink in. After all his explaining she could only respond with her name.
At the time, it was about the only thing she felt certain of. She was very frazzled, her heart rate racing and her head buzzing. She wasn't sure how much more information she could take without letting the idea of "other world" truly sink in. Rest for now maybe, the stars were out after all. A strange empty calm was creeping back in with the pause she took, a quick refocus on the world around her.
Ah yes, she was still cold.
"You said you have somewhere to stay?" she asked, raising her warm hazel gaze to meet his.
